On March 11, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, went dark—intentionally. Over a 24-hour period, the installation executed the Department of the Air Force’s longest Energy Resilience Readiness Exercise yet. First started in 2020 and overseen by Headquarters Air Force A4C today, the ERRE program plans and executes controlled outages to test installation resilience in degraded environments. Exercises evaluate backup power systems, reveal hidden infrastructure interdependencies, validate Continuity of Operations Plans, and stress-test mission execution under crisis conditions. To date, A4C has conducted 32 ERREs across the DAF, typically lasting 12 hours or less.
